Adam Hasner announced another group of endorsements from conservative legislators today. Something I've noticed about many of Hasner's endorsements is that they have made a point to say that he is the "only candidate" in this race that they trust to hold conservative principles, often even specifically naming George LeMieux to point out that they will not support him (See endorsements from Carole Jean Jordan, Kathleen Shanahan, and Sally Bradshaw).
This most recent round of endorsements also draw a connection to Marco Rubio and how well Hasner and Rubio worked together when they were in the leadership of the Florida House, as noted by Sunshine State News' headline: "Connecting Him to Marco Rubio, Three Legislators Back Hasner in Senate Race."
Here's the press release from the campaign:

Boca Raton, FL - Today, the Adam Hasner for U.S. Senate campaign announced the endorsements of Florida State Senator Garrett Richter (District 37 - Collier and Lee Counties), State Representative Robert Schenck (District 44 - Spring Hill), and State Representative Kelli Stargel (District 64 - Lakeland).
"I was honored to serve in the Florida House with Adam and I know that he is the only candidate in this race that Floridians can trust to faithfully represent their values," said Senator Garrett Richter. "My fellow House Republicans and I knew that we could always count on Adam to stand up and fight for the conservative cause and I know he will do the same for all Floridians when serving in Washington."
"My first term in the Florida House was under the leadership of Adam Hasner and Marco Rubio," said Representative Robert Schenck. "I saw first-hand how they worked together to promote a conservative agenda and the people of Florida would be well-served by sending Adam to Washington to continue that work."
"There is nothing more important than sending another strong conservative leader to Washington to stand alongside Senator Rubio and Adam Hasner is that leader," said Representative Kelli Stargel. "Adam has been fighting for conservative principles all his life and I know that when elected to the U.S. Senate he will continue that fight from day one."
"These endorsements mean a lot to me personally and to the campaign and I am honored to have their support," said Adam Hasner. "Garrett, Rob, and Kelli are great additions to our growing grassroots organization and I look forward to working with them to defeat Senator Nelson and deliver real conservative leadership to the U.S. Senate."
